After the configuration is completed, click the “Add”. By now the computer has a route to H980 Series.

H980 Series 3G Router User Manual

Note:

As shown in Fig. 3.2-3, “Default gateway” depends on whether the configuration computer connects with Internet through original local network configuration. If Internet is accessed through original local network, the default gateway setting does not need to be modified; if H980 Series 3G Router + is used, you need to modify the default gateway and configure it as H980 Series 3G Router’s default LAN IP address

192.168.8.1.

2. Network check

 Step 1: IP configuration check

Use the command of ipconfig to check whether the IP address is correctly set or added. You can enter DOS mode and key-in command: ipconfig, for instance:

C:\>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter local connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix. : Auto configuration IP Address . . .: 192.168.8.7

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . .: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.8.1

 Step 2: connectivity check

After the configuration is completed, you can check the connectivity between it and H980 Series 3G Router by ping command. Key-in ping command in system command line:

Chapter 4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

4.1 Fault analysis

Fault 1: All indicators are off.

Check whether the cables are connected correctly. Meanwhile, check whether the power supply complies with the requirements. H980 Series 3G Router’s label indicates the detailed requirements regarding the power supply voltage. Check whether the power supply voltage is identical with that specified in the label.

If the input voltage is correct, but all indicators are off, maybe the device fails. Please contact your sales representative.

Fault 2: Unstable phenomenon appears after working for a long time.

Check whether the device is overheated. If it is overheated, put the device in a ventilated place.

Fault 3: The device doesn’t execute self-checking.

Make sure the power supply is correct.

Fault 4: How to resolve the problem if the following information appears when you ping the router?

Pinging 192.168.8.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.

Such information indicates that error occurs in the installation process. You must check the followings in sequence:

9 Whether PC is connected with H980 Series 3G Router correctly by Ethernet

cable? (Note: H980 Series Router’s LINK indicator and PC’s Link indicator must be on).

9 Whether PC’s TCP/IP environment is configured correctly?

(Note: If H980 Series Router’s IP address is 192.168.8.1, PC’s IP address

For more check, click the relevant menu and enter the DOS interface. Type the command: ipconfig, and press the Enter key, for example:

must be 192.168.8.xxx).

Appendix: Software Upgrade Description

Upgrade tool description and operating instructions

H980 Series 3G Router is designed with the platform technology, whose software can be upgraded with the development of the communication and network technology.

WEB upgrade:

H980 Series 3G Router supports the function of upgrading the firmware directly by importing the upgrade file via the WEB configuration interface. Log in the WEB configuration page by means of entering the router’s IP address (LAN port or WAN port) in the browser’s address bar. Click System Tools -> Firmware Upgrade, to go to the Web firmware upgrade interface. Click the Browse key to find the corresponding upgrade file. Click the Save button to upgrade the firmware.

In the process of upgrade, don’t make any other operation to the Web configuration page. Otherwise, the upgrade may fail, which may make the router fails. After the upgrade, this Web page will prompt that the upgrade succeeds or fails. If upgrade fails, you can repeat the above operations again to upgrade the firmware.

Note:

1. In the software upgrade process never cut off the power supply or disconnect the communication between the PC and the router.
